NEWSilversmith's Armory: Six Armor Sets with Set Bonuses

THE SILVERSMITH'S ARMORY. Catalogue, six sets.

Forty years at the anvil. Six suits on the rack. Wear all four pieces of one set and it wakes up with a bonus. Mix sets and you just get plates. Everything crafts at a plain crafting table and fixes at an anvil.

Protection is counted against a full iron suit (15) and diamond (20). Recipes read row by row, top first: "/" starts the next row, "-" is an empty slot, "x3" fills the row.

FROM THE BACK OF THE SHOP

• Put on the fourth piece and the armor tells you: the set's name pops up with a ring of the anvil.
• Pieces of different sets work as plain armor. No bonus for a patchwork job.
• Find them in the creative menu under equipment, next to the vanilla armor.
